Joe Biden, a former vice-president, appeared headed to a badly needed second-place finish in Nevada after poor showings earlier in February in the first two nominating contests in the Democratic presidential race ahead of the November 3 election. For Biden and other moderates who argue Sanders is too liberal to beat Trump and who have been trying to blunt his momentum, however, the Nevada results made the job much harder.
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House as he departed for a trip to India, said Nevada was a “great win” for Sanders, adding that he did not care who his opponent would be.
